[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 532200, member: 193607"] If you could say which channels you managed to receive, it would help to give advice. If you get partial or very weak reception of 2D, a rule of thumb to use is to jump up two or even three dish sizes from the current one used. This would get you to 120 -150 cm, which should be good enough. In Madrid, very weak reception is possible on a 100 cm dish but 180 cm is needed for good signal all day. Please also say what time of day you set up the dish. 2D horizontal is very strong in Spain first thing in the morning, and drops of considerably later in the day. Vertical is also strong early morning, drops off middle of the day but comes back stronger in the afternoon and evenings. There are also a couple of hours good horizontal reception around tea- time, for reasons unknown. [/QUOTE]
